Just seen this, Justin and it was never an anti-nuclear song, in fact. An inflatable Saturn V in the video got mistaken for a missile by the press. It was about a particular individual.

I had to check the existence of chocolate hobnobs watching Rivals the other night. They did exist in 1987 but the characters should have been more astonished by them.

There was always a re-recording made for such appearances, per MU agreements, but the tape was often quietly substituted by the released version.

He’s 28. Neuro-developmentally his frontal lobe has only just fully attached. He’s starting to get it.

@bbcradio3bot.bsky.social RIP George Fenton, but please note he was not the composer of The Remains of the Day. Nor was he George Benson, @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social. Thank you.

Now that’s how you do a news theme: complexity that still slightly intrigues and confounds me after a thousand hearings: good night, George Fenton. An inspiration. youtu.be/ejJeTiPTyrs?...

Gas leak detected in the flat. Engineer turns off supply. Traces substantial leak to joint near newly-relocated meter which shoddily hadn’t even been soldered. Catastrophe averted.

2yrs after I finished my MA History at Goldsmiths, my research rights were bought and I was hired to work as historical consultant on this TV show. It's had BAFTA and International Emmy nominations. I got a book deal, too. Goldsmiths: "No point in MA History, let's fire everyone and delete it."

This film should always have had its original title - The Sad F***ers Club. Marking the 25th anniversary of the film's release, Bucks Music/Channel4 are digitally releasing this, my first feature score - Crush (2001) - in its entirety on October 2nd. So pleased this is finally available.

Fine theory, but I can't know the potential economic value of anything I create at the point of creation, nor does any commissioner. If a work is driving economic activity - even just attracting advertising revenue - then its creators deserve to participate. Or all their luck/risk bought out.

Helping a friend with music for her upcoming wedding. They can't find the charming ballad they want on S**t*fy. So I shazamed the youtube: 29 hits and it's not on any audio streamers. Because it's utterly AI-generated. Took all my professionalism not to scream in front of her. They love it.

I lost mine and had to order a replacement. Six months later I got a message from the guy to whom I’d freecycled my old flatbed scanner, and who’d only just hooked up the device. My passport was in the damn thing.

Watched it the other night with my other half (immigrant) and the overt Englishness felt less than comfortable in these times, a bit too Blood and Soil, despite the mongrel plurality it argues.
